DNRP Field Notes
Our talented workforce protects and restores the natural environment for the people, fish, and wildlife of King County, promoting more resilient, sustainable, equitable communities. We restore habitat, build and operate major infrastructure that protects Puget Sound, transform waste management to reduce carbon emissions, and expand and enhance regional parks and trails, all of which contribute to our region’s unique quality of life.
DNRP Field Notes extends this mission by offering a behind-the-scenes look at the people, places, and projects shaping King County’s environment. Through field notes, project updates, photo essays, and stories from our teams and partners, we highlight the science, creativity, and collaboration that drive our work. It’s a space designed to make our environmental stewardship more accessible, connect readers with the communities we serve, and share the innovations, challenges, and everyday moments that define our commitment to a healthier, more resilient region.
